أبداً فَبُرؤه يَنتكس
Who will aid a lovesick man upon a bed of wasting illness,
For one caught off guard upon bedding of ease
forever, for his recovery gives way to relapse?
His conscience will never find peace

وكَراه عنهُ مُحتَبس
His eyelid lets tears flow freely,
His eyes spilling with unrestrained tears
And his slumber is withheld from him.
While his hatred for it, he tries to appease,

The reproachers did not know his whereabouts,
The tormentors, not knowing where it hurts
So his breath guided them toward him.
Led by their whims, his pains increase
